'Do you ever discuss a topic and think: ‘I’d love to hear that on Woman’s Hour’? Well, here’s your chance! Listener Week is coming up & we'd like to hear from YOU! Whether it's personal stories or guest suggestions, let us know what you want to hear'

The comments are interesting, but clearly all the many women commenting are not the right kind of women for Womans Hour.

All of these are excellent suggestions, though I think they've had Sharron fairly recently. I'd also love it if they had someone like Jane Clare Jones, who is absolutely brilliant but doesn't seem to get invited onto mainstream media.

To my mind, Helen Joyce is the most eloquent advocate we have of the gc position, though. She is phenomenal. I think there's something to be said for focusing our efforts on getting her asked on - though I also suspect that the more people demand her, the more WH dig their heels in out of sheer obstinacy.

I do love how we have so many intelligent, well informed, talented Women to nominate from all walks. Any of these Women from Helen to JKR would be a joy to listen to. I'm so looking forward to the debate opening up across our screens in the coming years so the ideology will be exposed for what it is.

I would nominate:
RMW
LOJ
Stella Creasey
Wes Streeting
India Willoughby

But only if the BBC provided a serious interviewer.

Oooh Jenni Murray / IW for balance 😂

(JM interviewed IW years ago and was audibly infuriated though couldn't say much on air.)

Has anyone nominated Doc Stock? She's rather awesome too!

I think they had her on?

Isn't it great that there are so many women we can recommend. With the added bonus of lots of articulate men also speaking out.
And that twitter thread in the op is a joy to read. Funnily enough Helen Joyce's name is mentioned a lot 😂

Elaine Miller aka Gussie Gripper (I hope I've got her name right).

She’s doing 2 dates at Edinburgh fringe. One has sold out. Pelvic floors would be great for radio. Tweet with link

...Helen Joyce?

You know me so well.
I'd love to know how many vote for Dear Dylan.

Maybe we should just send Women’s Hour a link to this thread.

AlisonDonut · 30/07/2023 23:12

I could listen to Helen for hours and frequently do. She never gets tongue tied or mixes up sex and gender or trans girls with boys. She corrects people pleasantly and is always on point.

I'd love to hear Jenni Murray on as a guest. I spent years listening to her and have not listened in so long since I wanted to throw the radio out the window. Bit meta though.

IcakethereforeIam · 30/07/2023 23:10

...Helen Joyce?

RealityFan · 30/07/2023 23:08

I've got three nominations
Helen Joyce, Helen Joyce, and, um...

CriticalCondition · 30/07/2023 23:05

You can also contact WH on WhatsApp on 03700 100 444.

I may have nominated Helen Joyce. 😁

Chrisp63 · 30/07/2023 22:57

Personally I would love to hear from Helen Joyce Maya JKR or Rosie Duffield?

JanesLittleGirl · 30/07/2023 22:53

If Woman's Hour had existed in the 70s, would the Dylan Mulvaney option have been replaced by Dick Emery or Danny La Rue?
